"Bloodrage is what happens when a vampire doesn't feed," Liam said. "Eventually, the need for blood is so great that it takes the vampire over, causing them to feed from the nearest living thing, whether that be friend or foe. It happens a lot to vampires who are made against their will; at first, the thought of drinking blood just makes one shudder."

Liam paused for a few moments, then continued. "It happened to me, after I was turned. I spent a long time thinking about death, and about how I wanted to kill myself in one of the back alleys of the place where I lived. I came close to suicide quite a few times, but I was a Catholic back then, and I could not do it. Then I thought about what living as a vampire would entail, and I could not bring myself to drink blood. Eventually, the Bloodrage came over me."

Star had just finished on the phone. She asked Axel to take a seat and explained to him in a few words about the subway disaster and how they figured that Diego was behind it. Star also told Axel about how Rose's brother had been injured in the subway incident.
